get an xpipe with same diameter, or a gt offroad one so u dont have to pay for the cats. Then get a GT midpipe for the drivers side, with clamp. Muffler hangers for that side, and an axle back for that side.

I've got the MAC shorties, Magnaflow tru duals w/x-pipe, there is definitly a difference, it was a bi**h to install the headers, damn studs were a pita to get out, I love them on the car.

its good to know that they sound good, I have a single gt takeoff and was looking for a way to get even better sound out of it, figured headers were the way to go and I wanted to try the macs out. wish me luck on tomarrows install, sounds like the driver side is gonna be really fun [/sarcasm]
